EDIT: Map upload tool finally worked for me in a different browser. Official map page here: http://www.forgehub.com/maps/sub-system.970/ (This map is still a WIP. Feel free to try it out and leave feedback) This map is my go to template when establishing myself with the newest iteration of Forge. I first made it for Reach and it was far and away my most popular map. The map is an underground subway that has red base facing blue base with 2 subway trams in between them. The 2 upper platforms represent the security booths that one would pass through after buying their tickets one floor above. use you imagination because I didn't build that part out. Low ammo rail guns reside in the top platforms. Since there are 2 weapons, I lowered the ammo so even if someone gets their hands on both, the ammo equals a standard rail guns capacity. SPNKr in the middle on a pad. Shotguns, again, with lower ammo counts, in the back of each tram & other standard tier weapons strewn about. The map is up on my file share. Give it a test run and let me know what you think!
I can increase the lighting intensity if people feel like its too dark to play properly. I had a small FFA playlets last night and no one playing had comments about it being too dark but we'll see if its a recurring theme. Still, It wouldn't be much of subway if there was a hole in the ceiling
Thanks! I always try hard to establish a theme in my maps. Not sure on the Gears reference since I didnt play multi on those. P.S.: I got the map upload tool to work for me in a different browser so its up in the proper place for discussion and such.
I'm not sure if its the map or the game DVR but I noticed some frame drops in there. If its the map then this map is great as far as the aesthetics go but the gameplay will suffer. There will be preconceived bias for some players based solely on the framerate lag.
Fun Fortress did an FFA playtest a bit ago with 4 others and the only time he mentioned framrate was when on the very top of the map above the security checkpoints on glass. Im pretty sure all other area are a result of Xbox DVR > onedrive>macbook>youtube compression shenanigans. However I have been staring at this map for a week so perhaps i zoned it out. Ill keep a check on comments and see if its a recurring issue/theme.
I think this is ****ing incredible, honestly. I'd love to see it implemented into playlists. Reminds me of Operation Metro from Battlefield!
Locking this since the Map has been officially posted in the Maps Database. Please direct all conversation there. http://www.forgehub.com/maps/sub-system.970/
